Topic: Coleoptera Mycetaea synonym

Hi. According to the Coleoptera Checklist 2012, there is only one species in the genus Mycetaea (Family Endomychidae).

MYCETAEA Stephens, 1829
subterranea (Fabricius, 1801)
Synonyms
fumata sensu (Marsham, 1802) non (Linnaeus, 1767)
hirta (Marsham, 1802) non (Herbst, 1783)
villosa (Beck, 1817)

On the NBN we currently have 2 species - subterranea and hirta - and they need to be linked with hirta as a synonym to subterranea.

Many thanks, Stuart
